Hu Shu looked at the backs of Yang Jian and Nezha disappearing into the night, silently praying for their success. He turned back to the palace and continued to discuss the details of defense with Di Xin. However, they did not What we know is that at this time, a conspiracy against them is quietly unfolding in the Chan Sect camp. Everyone at the Chan Sect is sitting around with sinister smiles on their faces, as if they have seen the scene where ZhaoGe City is in chaos.
"Hmph, then Hu Shu actually colluded with Tongtian Cult Master in an attempt to fight against me, Chan Sect. It's really hopeless." Guang Chengzi had a look of disdain on his face and shook Fly Whisk hard in his hand.
"However, their move forced us to move faster." Another Chan Sect Golden Immortal said with a frown.
Yuanshi Tianzun sat in the main seat, with a cold look on his face, and spoke slowly, "This time, we must let them know the consequences of opposing me, Chan Sect. Together with those Minor Factions, we can catch Chaoge by surprise."
At that moment, everyone at the Chan Sect began to plan intensively. They sent their disciples to secretly contact those Minor Factions who were dissatisfied with Chaoge. These Minor Factions, who are usually unknown among Primordial World, responded to the Chan Sect's call one after another in order to get a share of this dispute.
In the secret room of the Chan Sect camp, candlelight flickered and figures appeared. The leaders of the Chan Sect and Minor Factions sat together, with maps around Chaoge spread out on the table.
"You see, although these defensive strongholds around Chaoge seem to be strong, as long as we find the right opportunity and concentrate our strength, we will definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop." An elder from the Chan Sect pointed at the map, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes.
"First destroy these strongholds and break Chaoge's wings, and then attack ZhaoGe City with all our strength. At that time, Chaoge will be like a turtle in a urn, at our disposal." Guang Chengzi added, with a cruel smile on his face.
The leaders of Minor Factions nodded one after another, their eyes full of greed and desire. They seemed to have seen the mountains of treasures and resources after ZhaoGe City was broken.
At the same time, Chan Sect also arranged a group of experts specifically responsible for interfering with Yang Jian and Nezha's search for evidence.
"Yang Jian and Nezha must be looking for evidence against us this time. We must not let them succeed. Once we find their traces, we will immediately stop them at all costs." Yuanshi Tianzun gave the order coldly.
The defense strongholds around Chaoge seemed calm as usual at the moment. Soldiers were patrolling the city walls, occasionally chatting, and their voices spread far in the silent night. The moonlight shone on the walls of the stronghold, casting mottled shadows.
The guard of the stronghold stood on a high place, looking into the distance, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. Recently, the atmosphere seems to be a little too calm, so calm that it makes people feel uncomfortable.
"General, tell me, Chan Sect, will those people do anything?" A soldier walked up to the guard and asked in a low voice.
The guard frowned and said, "Humph, those guys will definitely not give up. Everyone, please cheer up and don't take it lightly."
However, what they don't know is that the danger Zhengyi is approaching step by step. In a dense forest not far from the stronghold, a group of black figures are quietly lurking. They are dressed in black, with black cloth covering their faces, only revealing a pair of cold eyes.
"Listen, we'll take action later. First get rid of the patrols on the city wall. Move quickly and don't make any noise." A man in black ordered in a low voice, with a chill in his voice.
In the ZhaoGe Palace, Hu Shu and Di Xin are still discussing the details of defense.
"Your Majesty, although Chaoge's defense has been strengthened, the defense forces of surrounding strongholds still need to be further deployed." Hu Shu looked at the map with a solemn expression.
Di Xin nodded, "What you said is absolutely true. I will arrange for someone to do it right away. But I don't know how Yang Jian and Nezha are going."
Hu Shu frowned slightly, "The two of them have outstanding abilities, so there shouldn't be any big problems. But Chan Sect will definitely take precautions, and we still have to prepare for the worst."
At this time, ZhaoGe City was quiet, and the people had already fallen asleep. The streets were deserted, with only the occasional patrolling soldiers passing by, and the sound of footsteps echoed on the stone road.
Outside the city, Minor Factions united by the Chan Sect has completed its assembly. They are like a pack of hungry wolves, waiting for the opportunity to launch a fatal blow to the defensive strongholds around Chaoge.
"Report! General, there are some suspicious movements ahead, like a large number of people moving." A spy hurried over and reported to the stronghold guard.
The guard's face changed, "It's indeed here! Quick, sound the alarm and let the brothers prepare for battle!"
In an instant, the alarm bells rang through the night sky, which was particularly harsh in the silent night. The soldiers in the stronghold acted quickly, took up their weapons and rushed towards the city wall.
"Humph, we were discovered after all. In that case, there is no need to hide anymore, come to me!" The man in black in the dense forest gave an order, and the black shadows rushed towards the stronghold like a tide.
Suddenly, shouts of killing broke out. The men in black relied on their numerical advantage to quickly break through the stronghold Outer Defense Line. The soldiers in the stronghold resisted desperately, and the ground was dyed red with blood.
"Fire arrows!" the guard shouted loudly, and the archers on the city wall unfurled their bows and nocked arrows, and arrows rained down like rain. Many of the men in black fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, but they still rushed forward desperately.
"General, there are too many enemies, we can't stand it any longer!" a soldier shouted anxiously.
The guard gritted his teeth and said, "We must hold on and wait for Chaoge's reinforcements!"
On the other side, Yang Jian and Nezha were following the clues. They moved forward cautiously, unaware that the danger was approaching.
"Senior brother, I always feel like something is wrong. It seems like someone is following us." Nezha frowned and looked around warily.
Yang Jian nodded slightly, "I feel the same way. It seems that the people from the Chan Sect have discovered us. Be careful and don't fall into their trap."
At this moment, a group of men in black suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?" Yang Jian shouted loudly while holding Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd.
The man in black did not answer, but slowly drew out his weapon and looked at them with cold eyes.
"It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable." Nezha held Universe Fist tightly, exuding a powerful momentum.
After the two sides faced off for a moment, the men in black took the lead in attacking. Their bodies were like lightning, and they rushed towards Yang Jian and Nezha. Yang Jian and Nezha were not afraid and rushed forward. For a moment, the swords and swords flashed, and the shouts of killing continued.
In the ZhaoGe Palace, Hu Shu and Di Xin heard the shouts of killing coming from outside the city, and their expressions changed drastically.
"No, it seems that the strongholds around Chaoge have been attacked." Hu Shu stood up with a serious expression.
"Sir, what should we do?" Di Xin asked anxiously.
Hu Shu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, please immediately send reinforcements to support you. I will also go there personally to repel these enemies!"
Di Xin nodded, "Okay, I'll leave everything to you sir!"
Hu Shu turned around and quickly ran towards the outside of the city. His figure was like a black lightning in the night, very fast.
At this time, the defensive strongholds around Chaoge were already engaged in a bitter battle. The walls of the stronghold were breached in many places, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The guard was also wounded in many places, but he still waved his weapons and resisted tenaciously.
"Brothers, we can't retreat! Fight for Chaoge, for Human Race!" the guard shouted loudly, his voice full of tragedy.
On the other side, Yang Jian and Nezha were fighting inextricably with the men in black. The men in black were numerous and well coordinated, which put a lot of pressure on them.
"Brother, this is not the way to go. We have to find a way to break out." Nezha shouted while resisting the attack of the man in black.
Yang Jian's eyes flashed, "I have an idea. You attract their attention, and I will take the opportunity to attack and open a gap."
Nezha nodded, then flashed and rushed towards the place where the people in black were the densest. Universe Ring in his hand shone brightly, causing the people in black around him to retreat.
Upon seeing this, Yang Jian immediately seized the opportunity and used all his strength to attack the weak points of the men in black. Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd swung and shot out a powerful Sword Qi, instantly knocking several men in black to the ground.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the men in black, Yang Jian and Nezha quickly broke out and ran in the other direction.
"Chase! We can't let them run away!" Upon seeing this, the leader of the men in black shouted loudly. The men in black immediately chased after them.
At this time, Hu Shu had already arrived at the battlefield around Chaoge. He saw the fire and shouts of killing in the stronghold from a distance, and he was filled with anger.
"How dare you act so recklessly on my Human Race territory? You won't even be able to leave alive today!" Hu Shu roared angrily, exuding a powerful aura. In a flash, he rushed into the enemy formation.
Wherever Hu Shu went, enemies fell one after another. His Treasure Sword light flashed like the scythe of death, harvesting the lives of enemies.
"It's Hu Shu! Everyone, hold on, reinforcements are coming!" When the soldiers at the stronghold saw Hu Shu, their morale was boosted, and they plucked up the courage to join the battle again.
Under the leadership of Hu Shu, the soldiers gradually stabilized their position and began to counterattack. Seeing that the situation was not good, the men in black wanted to retreat.
"Want to leave? It's not that easy!" How could Hu Shu let them go? He accelerated his attack and killed the man in black until he lost his armor.
However, just when Hu Shu and others were ready to breathe a sigh of relief after repelling the men in black, they did not know that Chan Sect had more conspiracies unfolding.
The masters of the Chan Sect were hiding in the dark, observing all this. They were secretly surprised when they saw Hu Shu appear.
"I didn't expect this Hu Shu to be so powerful. It seems we have to readjust our plans." A Chan Sect master whispered.
"Humph, let them be proud for a while. When they relax their vigilance, we will launch a fatal blow." Another master's eyes flashed with a trace of sinisterness.
At this time, although Hu Shu had repelled the enemy, the worry in his heart had not diminished at all. He knew that this was only the first step of the Chan Sect, and there must be a bigger conspiracy waiting for them later.
ZhaoGe City seemed to have returned to calm after experiencing this short crisis, but in fact there was an undercurrent. Hu Shu returned to the palace and discussed the next step with Di Xin.
"Sir, although we have defeated the enemy this time, I always feel that this is just the beginning." Di Xin said worriedly.
Hu Shu nodded, "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Chan Sect will definitely not give up. We must strengthen our defense as soon as possible and find ways to find Yang Jian and Nezha to see if they have found evidence."
At this time, Yang Jian and Nezha were being pursued by men in black. They were traveling through the mountains and forests, trying to escape the enemy's pursuit.
"Brother, these guys are really difficult to deal with." Nezha complained as he ran.
Yang Jian frowned, "Don't be careless, they won't let us go easily. We have to find a place to hide as soon as possible to get rid of their tracking."
The two men continued to run in the mountains and forests, with the man in black chasing after them. The moonlight shone in the mountains and forests, stretching their figures longer, and the thrilling chase continued.
Chan Sect's conspiracy is gradually unfolding. Can Hu Shu and others detect and respond in time? What kind of crisis will Chaoge, Yang Jian, Nezha and others face? Everything is still unknown.
